Apples to oranges you smelly man.

DKC trilogy was better on SNES.
Castlevania COTM, Sword of Mana and Metroid Fusion are pretty good on GBA.

Portable is underrated. You need to be able to play in bed easily. You can play both on phone now with a controller.

Personally I hate the Snes. But Sega is putting african american rappers in Stranger than Heaven, so Sega isn't the good guys anymore. And if they ever turn bad they were always bad kind of.

>2 + 2 = ????????????? share what YOUR opinion is on the answer in the comments boys!

GBA isn't great but the SNES is a piece of shit so the GBA looks like a dream in comparison. Plus most of the SNES games anyone cares about are on GBA.
>>
>>12681296
Gba without doubt sadly most devs cheapened out when making games for it thus there are no games that take advantage of it, is technically better then cps2 yet you see how super street fighter 2 and street fighter zero 3 turned out on gba despite being able to port both games in same res with no changes at all.
>>
>>12681296
Why not both?????

>>12681296
GBA is way more powerful than SNES even with SuperFX 2 chip. It also had more games, and with higher quality too, gameplay wise if nothing else. Literally the only downside is screen resolution and sound quality.
>>
>>12681296
GBC had more potential because it was no longer bound by the chains of 2.6 or 3.5MHz. So GBA arguably on a hardware level but actually SNES overall because of the better resolution and more original games. GBA games are more polished though. It also has a lot of remakes/remasters, both are great systems overall.

Pokemon alone destroys everything on the snes

>GBA is way more powerful than SNES even with SuperFX 2 chip.

it only seems that way because its driving a fraction of the resolution.

If it had to drive a minimum screenrez of the SNES, that gap would evaporate.

Also, the GBA had no sound system to speak of. You had to use processor power to handle audio in software, or stream the audio from data and send it as 2 channel. In the SNES, the streaming options are almost non-existant, but the entire 8-channel sound system operated independent of the cpu and is handled with no main processing cost.

and what in God's name did they pick for the GBA such a garbage noisy crunchy DAC chip for, and then the nerve to re-use it in the DS?

anyways, despite the impression the big N was clearly ok to let people try to infer on the SNES's coattails, the GBA really as a system is different enough to compare more to the N64 than the SNES.
